Soy Capitán is pleased to present Parataxis, an exhibition of new paintings by Grace Weaver.

Depicted in domestic interiors, Weaver’s tall, sloping protagonists animate the small ceremonies of everyday life. Solitary figures and couples sit on low and high-backedchairs, hold amphorae, gather around tables, or raise a glass. Behind them, coloured stripes hint at panelled walls or doorways – abstract notations of domestic interiority that dissolve into painterly fields.

These familiar scenes unfold with the measured cadence ofritual. Yet this ceremonial gravity is continually unsettled by a dry formal humour. Bodies are compressed, elongated, or made to obey archaic pictorial logic: two legs merge into one in profile, heads become near-perfect circles, and torsos mirror the shape of vessels. As in the writings of James Joyce, meaning accumulates through the repeated gestures of everyday life, inviting us to ‘encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience.’

Parataxis is jointly presented in the Berlin galleries of Galerie Max Hetzler and SoyCapitán.

Grace Weaver (b. 1989, Vermont) lives and works between New York and Berlin.
